Flip The Fleet is a community project that empowers you to play a vital part in building a brighter future for electric transport in New Zealand. All you need to do is share your own EV story with us…

Our goal is to accelerate uptake of electric vehicles in New Zealand by:

Providing scientific data

Us, helping each other

by sharing data on our vehicles’ performance in New Zealand conditions so that business investment in infrastructure, public policy and our own choices maximise the benefits and pleasure of EV ownership.

Informing the debate

so that we can reliably counter misperceptions about EV constraints and benefits.

“How do I play my part?”

1. Register your EV

In order for you to get involved, we need some details about you and your EV. To start registration, just click on your EV model in the section below! Hint: if you don’t have an EV, you should buy one!

2. Enter data each month

The driving force behind FlipTheFleet is a pretty smart online data collection system – we aim to gather as much similar data from EV owners across New Zealand, and then collate it all into one big pool for some serious analysis.

3. Watch the project grow!

As more and more EV owners begin contributing their data, the amount of interesting stuff we publish will increase. Saying that, a few reports about your EV and “the FLEET” will be available to you right away.

No matter if your EV is your own, belongs to your business, or if you manage a whole fleet of cars for your employer, we want you to join in and report your data.

Oh! We almost forgot: as long as you contribute data, Flip The Fleet is totally free to join and to use!

“Interesting… So, who’s in already?”

As of the 11th of the August 2017, 302EV drivers from all across New Zealand have registered with Flip The Fleet.

While this is not a competition (ahem…), here are the top 10 EVs that our drivers have chosen, and the top 10 regions where they drive them:

“Sounds great, SIGN ME UP!”

We need more background at first, but will not bother you much afterwards. And to keep the lawyers happy, check out legal stuff.

“I can’t contribute data, but… I like this project!

Can I keep in touch?”

“So who’s behind all this?”

Here’s a bit on Henrik and Dima, the two Nissan Leaf-owning founders:

Henrik Moller

Henrik is an ecologist and environmental sustainability scientist. He was a Review Editor for the Australasian chapter of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 4th Assessment report. Henrik is the principal researcher at Ecosystems Consultants Ltd and is Science Leader of the NZ Sustainability Dashboard, an online system rather like this one for helping farming families and processors to be more sustainable.

Dima Ivanov

Dima spends most of his days showing business owners how they can improve their performance based on industry benchmarks, generated by his company PowerStats.

Dima holds a Bachelor of Design, majoring in Transport Design (Massey University Scholar, 1st Class Hons) and is also an advisory board member to Massey University Master of Business Analytics course.
